First afternoon shift in a hospital.

Though I'm so a night person, I prefer morning shifts. At least my day seems longer.

Witnessed a lumbar puncture today.



Patient has to be in this position.

It was my first time witnessing such a procedure and unfortunately, it wasn't a good experience. Since we can't say anything bad in regards to the hospital and everything inside, I shall not talk about the doctors.

Let's just say my already bad impression of them was made worse.

So disturbed by their attitudes, I was almost in tears.

I was thinking, if I were to become critically ill one fateful day,

1) I would sign an Advance Medical Directive (AMD) form,
2) I would request for no medical students to attend to me (Patient's right) and
3) I would sign a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) form upon several unsuccessful attempts to save me.

Haha please just leave me alone.
